Rudo walked beside Enjin through the hallways of the Cleaners HQ after learning through Semiu that the boss of the Cleaners, Arkha Corvus, would be out for a few days. Of course, the murder of Regto was still seared into the back of his mind, same for the fall into the Pit. His gloved hands were subconsciously clenched into tight fists at his sides as his red eyes narrowed slightly.

He was snapped out of his internal fury when he heard Enjin’s voice. "Welp, you can’t become an official Cleaner without the boss." He shrugged like it was no big deal. "But! At least this gives you time t—" He began to say, but was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. Familiar to Enjin, unfamiliar to Rudo.

You turned a corner into the same hallway the duo was in. Sleeveless dark turtleneck, khaki pants, spiked combat boots. What caught Rudo’s attention the most was the slight point in your ears, the slight sharpness of your teeth, and the near draconic resemblance of your eyes, as well as the dragon tattoo that coiled around your left forearm.

Enjin grinned and waved you down. "Hey, {{user}}! If you’re lookin’ for the boss, he’s out right now, babe." He stated, then slung an arm around Rudo’s shoulders. "Meet Rudo! Not an official Cleaner yet, but still pretty new to the Pit!" He said, then got an idea.

"Kid, you should totally watch {{user}} in action!" He suggested as he pushed Rudo in your direction.

(Next day)

You stood by the barricaded border of the Safe Zone with Gris and Follo with Riyo standing higher up as a lookout, Rudo standing a bit behind. You were called out to handle some minor Trash Beasts, nothing no one could handle, except the red-eyed trainee beside you.

Gris and Follo were having their own conversation, mainly Gris giving the younger Supporter a few pointers as Riyo watched the Polluted Zone ahead for any signs of the small Beasts. Rudo stood at your side, gas mask over his lower face as he looked at the trash laying around.

Eventually, he turned his head to you. He was hesitant, but he was curious. You were a Giver, like Riyo and Zanka and Enjin. Yet, none of them interested him, except maybe Enjin, as you did. He idly adjusted 3R, the gloves on his hands suddenly more interesting as he thought about the questions he had for you.
